Setup and Validation of a Measuring and Calibration Facility for Large Area Micromegas — •Philipp Lösel, Otmar Biebel, Jonathan Bortfeldt, Ralf Hertenberger, Ralph Müller, and Andre Zibell — LS Schaile - LMU München
The LMU Cosmic Ray Facillity (CRF) in Garching consists of two 4 × 2.2 m2 large Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) reference chambers for cosmic muon track monitoring with a resolution of about 40 µm. They sandwich a m2 sized Micromegas detector under investigation, which has 2048 resistive strips with a pitch of 450 µm. Its data is read out with a Scalable Readout System and merged with the MDT reference data. The experimental track position of the Micromegas is compared to the reference track position. With these measurements Micromegas deformations, bending, twist and rotation are determined and will be presented.
